Cheng Yu turned around and saw that it was the Russian man waving to the waiter.
The waiter came over with the bill, and the Russian paid. When he stood up, he grinned at Cheng Yu and said something gibberish.
Although Cheng Yu didn't understand Russian, he knew that the pronunciation of goodbye in Russian was Darth Vidalia. It was obvious that what the Russian just said was not goodbye.
However, Cheng Yu pretended not to know what the other party was saying and just waved to him.
Zhou Datong was also very clever and said, "Do you know him?"
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "I know an old man, huh?"
The Russian left the restaurant, and Zhou Datong asked the waiter: "Do you understand Russian?"
The waiter nodded, and Zhou Datong asked again: "What did that old man say to us before he left?"
"He said it wouldn't be a good fate if we met again. I didn't understand what that old man meant, so I didn't tell you two."
Zhou Datong nodded and looked at Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu also nodded slightly. Zhou Datong knew that his guess was correct.
Seeing the Russian get into the Honda Accord and leave, Zhou Datong lowered his voice and asked: "Is this Lao Dapeng's creditor?"
Cheng Yu nodded slightly and whispered the same: "I followed him in the hotel, but I let him see me playing with my phone in the car. This guy was very cautious and remembered my license plate number at that time."
"Didn't you return the car?"
"Yeah, but then I thought about renting one."
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it later."
The two continued to eat and drink, exactly as they had when the Russians were around.
When paying the bill, Cheng Yu asked the hotel waiter to call for a driver and reported the address of the KTV that he had found on his mobile phone while eating.
After negotiating the price, Cheng Yu and Zhou Datong sat in the back seat and let the driver drive them to the designated KTV.
When getting out of the car, Cheng Yu saw a tall figure disappearing under a dark tree in the distance. He knew that his caution was correct. As expected, the Russian had not completely given up his suspicion. Leaving early was just a mistake.
It seems that he has been observing the two of them in the dark.
But once we get here, there should be no problem. There is no way the Russian would stay outside the ktv just because of some suspicion and wait until they come out later in the night.
After entering, he asked for a private room. While the waiter was making arrangements, Cheng Yu could finally talk to Zhou Datong safely for a while.
"Mr. Cheng, what's going on?"
Cheng Yu sighed and said quickly: "Because what I am going to do next is a bit dangerous, I don't want to drag you down. I originally wanted you to leave early. But I didn't expect that you would be involved in the end."
"Oh, I'm so worried. What's going on?"
"That Russian, you should have guessed it, is the one on the dark web.
Yesterday, I had a phone call with my mother and learned that Mr. Cheng was coming to Harbin today.
Moreover, the reason for his business trip was that my father had met a Russian businessman earlier and had a cooperation with him. The investment amount was not large, several million US dollars. Mr. Cheng had always been in charge of this matter.
I asked him by the way and found out that the Russian that Mr. Cheng came into contact with was also from Irkutsk. I thought at that time that this was definitely not a coincidence. He must have known this Russian for a long time.
The whole thing was completely a trap designed by him and the Russians, making Lao Dapeng the initiator of the murder of my father, and planning how to get rid of him afterwards..."
Immediately, Cheng Yu told Zhou Datong his speculation as briefly as possible.
"So, you followed the Russian. Do you suspect that he planned to kill Lao Dapeng himself? But this is unwise, after all, as long as Lao Dapeng cannot get the money, the dark network will never let him go.
.”
"There must be something I missed here. After all, I relied on existing clues to make speculations. Of course, it is also possible that they both just had to witness Lao Dapeng's death, so they came in advance before the last moment.
When we arrive in Harbin, we are going to follow Lao Dapeng all the way and wait to see how he dies."
Zhou Datong frowned and said, "This is unlikely.
According to the rules of the darknet, when the person who posted the task fails to pay the reward on time, the first thing the darknet needs to do is to contact and communicate with this person.
If a fine that complies with the rules can be recovered, it will not be possible to immediately cause any harm to his personal safety.
Moreover, even after finding the person, the other party is still unable to pay the reward. The darknet's first choice is to call the parents - that is, notify the member's recommenders and let them pay the reward and fines.
The last step is to punish the member himself.
Regarding this point, after I separated from you this morning, I called the person in Africa and asked his assistant carefully to learn the details.
The assistant also told me that usually after the recommender of a member who violates the rules pays a fine, a mission to hunt down that member will be posted on the dark web.
The reward for this task is usually half of the fine. Only when no one is willing to take on the task will the Darknet personally take action and kill the member who violated the rules."
"No one is willing to accept this task? How to judge this? Time?"
Zhou Datong nodded and said: "Yes, if no one accepts the task seventy-two hours after the task is issued, it will be deemed to be the end of the task, and the Darknet will personally take action."
Cheng Yu frowned and said, "This means that if Lao Dapeng cannot come up with the reward at seven or eight o'clock tomorrow morning, then he can still live for at least three to five days? Just because the mission was announced
It’s already been three days.”
Zhou Datong said: "This depends on the speed at which the darknet handles this matter. Generally speaking, the darknet will not be too anxious to deal with it. After all, the amount is only three million US dollars.
The assistant in Africa said that for the dark web, three million is simply a too small number. If the matter of Lao Dapeng is to be dealt with, no one will be willing to do it within three to five days of the deadline.
to handle.
Of course, this also depends on whether the party accepting the task will urge the dark network to speed up processing.
But even if the Russian urges the darknet, it will be difficult for the darknet to contact that member at the right time. There are always some procedures and procedures, and the time difference must be taken into consideration.
It usually responds within 24 hours, even on the dark web, the response speed is already very fast.
After all, the Dark Web is not really a customer service website.
The operators of the dark web are a very strict organization, and they also need to obtain a series of procedures before they can act in accordance with the rules.
It is said that it is similar to the police departments in most countries. They also need to report to the superiors and wait for the report to be approved before taking action."
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "So, normally speaking, even if Lao Dapeng will be executed in the end, it will be at least five days later, and even this time will be extended due to the carelessness of the dark network. So do you think Cheng Fu and the Russian
The fact that people are coming to Harbin now is not directly related to this matter, at least not related to the actions on the dark web, but is purely their private behavior?"
"That's pretty much what it means. In fact, even if you don't call me back, I have to tell you this when I get to the airport."
Cheng Yu looked thoughtful: "Then, what exactly do Cheng Fu and this Russian intend to do is even more puzzling, isn't it?"
…
Just after twelve o'clock, Cheng Yu and Zhou Datong left the KTV together.
Since tracking had become impossible, Cheng Yu knew that there was no point in keeping an eye on Cheng Fu, so he asked Zhou Datong to stay at Shangri-La, while he found a driver and simply asked the driver to drive to the airport.
Naturally, the airport also has a hotel, and Cheng Yu booked a room there and prepared to sleep there.
When leaving the KTV, Cheng Yu also observed the surroundings very carefully. It seemed that the Russian was indeed not following them anymore.
Cheng Yu was even thinking at the time that if the Russian identified him and was still guarding him outside the KTV, Cheng Yu would simply take that guy down.
After all, he is a professional killer with many lives on his hands. Cheng Yu really won't have too many psychological barriers to kill such a guy.
But Cheng Yu didn't know that he had made a wrong judgment since he met Cheng Fu and followed the Russian away, which was a major mistake he made.
If he had continued to stay in the hotel, he would have seen Lao Dapeng appear only about twenty minutes after he left.
Yes, Lao Dapeng originally planned to fly to Harbin tomorrow, but a phone call between him and Cheng Fu made him change his itinerary.
He had already left Wudong in a hurry early this morning, and the online taxi was called directly to the community. This directly led to the people sent by Lao Bian to keep an eye on Lao Dapeng, but they did not notice that he had left.
An online taxi took him all the way to the airport in Xuzhou, and then he took a plane from Xuzhou to Harbin, arriving at Taiping Airport at 4:30 p.m.
Then he took a taxi to Shangri-La, just when Cheng Yu left the hotel and just walked into the hotel.
As for the Russian, after leaving the hotel and seeing Cheng Yu and Zhou Datong entering the KTV, he finally went to where he was supposed to go.
The reason why this was Cheng Yu's mistake was precisely because of the infrared device he glued to Cheng Fu's door frame.
That Russian is indeed an experienced professional killer.
Moreover, Cheng Yu ignored his height.
With a height of just over 1.9 meters, this Russian will be more cautious when entering and exiting the door of any hotel room.
Although the door height of hotel rooms is generally more than two meters high, this Russian has stayed in many old European hotels. The doors of those hotels are not as high as those of modern standardized hotel rooms, and they are often not high enough.
When the height reaches two meters, it is common to accidentally bump your head occasionally.
In addition, he is a cautious killer, and his observation skills are not the same as those of ordinary people. Therefore, when he entered the door, he had already discovered the infrared emission device.
The Russians knew that at least Cheng Fu was being targeted.
But he didn't even tell Cheng Fu about this, but when he left his room, he found that the infrared emitting device on the door was missing again.
This was also the reason why he was so upset about the car following him for two kilometers. Normally, without any further discovery, no matter how careful he was, when he saw Cheng Yu entering the hotel, he would at most
Just observe from a distance.
And when Zhou Datong appears, the alarm should be lifted.
But it was precisely because the Russian knew that someone was targeting Cheng Fu that he took the initiative to enter the hotel and contact Cheng Yu.
Fortunately, Cheng Yu's subsequent performance was quite perfect, and the Russians were not convinced that Cheng Yu was following him.
And when Cheng Yu went to the KTV after dinner, he felt that it was just Cheng Fu who was being targeted.
